Vaxigrip

Vaxigrip is an inactivated influenza vaccine designed to help protect against seasonal flu strains. This quadrivalent vaccine targets four common flu viruses, including H1N1 and influenza B. Suitable for adults and children, it is administered via injection. Ideal for seasonal flu prevention.

Vaxigrip is used to provide active immunization against influenza caused by specific virus strains. It helps reduce the risk of flu-related illness in individuals aged six months and older. The vaccine targets common seasonal flu strains, including H1N1 and influenza B. It is particularly recommended for those at higher risk of flu complications.

After vaccination, the body develops antibodies to protect against the targeted flu viruses. These antibodies typically appear within two weeks and provide immunity for the current flu season. Common effects include mild soreness at the injection site and general fatigue.

Vaxigrip should not be used if you have a severe allergy to any of its ingredients or previous flu vaccines. Inform your healthcare provider of any allergies or medical conditions before receiving the vaccine. Keep the vaccine refrigerated until use and administer as directed by a healthcare professional.

Vaxigrip may interact with immunosuppressive therapies, reducing its effectiveness. Avoid receiving other vaccines simultaneously unless advised by a healthcare provider. Inform your doctor about all medications and treatments you are currently using to ensure safe administration.
